Our Portfolio
Increasing investment is one of the six value propositions identified in the Alliance’s ten-year strategic business plan. In order to reach our goal of 100 million homes adopting clean cooking solutions by 2020, the Alliance is seeking to attract a billion dollars in investment into the sector by 2020. Toward this goal, grant investments are needed to develop and scale better technologies and business models appropriate to the local context, and improve the fragmented value chains in many markets.
The Alliance has developed a number of funding and financing tools – Spark Fund, Pilot Innovation Fund, Women’s Empowerment Fund, and Catalytic Small Grants – designed to target clean cookstoves and fuels enterprises at different stages of development and provide funding to help them scale and thrive.
